Service Manual Alignment Specs?

Goose · 12-07-2006, 05:58 PM

Hey guys,

I did a search and read about lots of drifting to the right issues and generally poor alignment on lots of our cars. Unfortunately for me, after my first road trip, I've discovered that I also suffer from the same problem.

Having been around cars for longer than I care to admit, I know the problem should be solved by a good alignment (and a little more toe-in).

Can anybody that has the Factory Service Manual for the '06/'07 coupe give me the factory alignment specs for the EX? I'm really just interested in the front toe spec.

Thanks! :)

camber front
+/- 0.30 max in the front ... factory is set at 0

camber rear
- 1.30

caster in the front is 7
tow is 0.08 front and rear i think....not too sure but just set it at 0 and u'll be fine...

Could you (or anyone with the manual) confirm the exact toe-in spec when you get the chance? Being an old engineer, I'm a stickler for accuracy.

Thanks for your help! :)

Quick Question, if factory was 195/60/15 and i went to 215/55/16 do i have to re align my car?

You shouldn't have to realign your car for a minor size change, but it never hurts. If you mounted your new tires on aftermarket wheels, be mindful of their offset and hubcentricity. If you depart more a than "a little bit" from the stock setup, then an aligment would be needed.

Hope this helps... :)

Marvin is correct in what he has stated.

I have the Helms manual right beside me now.

Total toe-in Front = 0+/-0.08in
